USB camera access

Ever since the HDMI viewer application and more so, the new permissions model for accessing headset cameras, we have been unable to use any USB cameras on the headset.

Are there any plans for re-implementing access to this? The USB devices show up, but they cannot be used within their respective applications. 

It has been frustrating to say the least not being able to use the hardware I own on the hardware I own.


I've tried various UVC USB cameras and none of them work. I get asked which application I want to use when plugging in the device the first time and the application will open when plugging it in but the application never gets access to the device like it used to.

    can also confirm issues with every single usb camera and hdmi capture card I have here, using 'usb camera' android application which has worked previously, now is unable to be used with any devices as it does not 'have usb permission' despite all app and system permissions allowed.

    being forced to use the meta hdmi application is unacceptable due to its lack of controls and integration with devices

      Any update here? Why was this taken away? Why is this not fixed? This used to work just fine.
